Abstract

This study had three objectives. The first objective was to determine whether the least variable purity and germination results are obtained with the "hand," "standard," or "climax" method of purity analysis. The second objective was to learn which of the three blowers currently in use (the Erickson, Ottawa and Ames) produces the least variable results. Some analysts have presumed that it might be possible to use the "standard" or "climax" blowing methods for purity analysis of heavier seed (20-pound bushel weight or above) but that lighter seed would require special methods. The third objective was to determine whether this assumption is correct.
